COFFEE-EGT.

Application .tiled November 16, 1914.

To all evo/tom t may concern Be it known that l, SPENCER ADnrNs, citizen of the United States, residing at lvlinneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coffee- Pots; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My inventionl relates to improvements in coffee pots and has for its object to provide the same with a strainer partition which divides said codee pot into two compartments, the one, adapted to receive and hold the ground or pulverized coffee, and the other to receive and hold the clear coffee, and from which compartment, said coffee is poured.

To the above end, the invention consists of the novel construction, and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described and defined in the claim.

ln the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts, throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of the improvedcoffee pot, some parts being broken away; Fig. 2 is a View Jrincipally in transverse vertical sections, taken on the line co2 :c2 of Fig. l; and Fig. `3 is a detail view, partly in elevation, and partly in transverse vertical section, taken on the line m3 w3 of Fig. 1.

0f the parts of. the Kcoffee pot, the numer- Y als l to 4 inclusive, indicate, respectively, the body, the cover, the handle, and the spout. The cover 2, which is of hollow conical form, with a closed bottom, is hinged at 5, to the handle 3, and is provided with a knob or hand-piece 6, by which said cover, may be opened or closed. That portion of the body of the coffee pot, embraced by the snout 4t, is perforated to afford a strainer 7. The partsthus far described, may be of the standard, or any desired design and construction. The body l, of the coffee pot is divided, by a transverse vertical strainer partition 8, into two compartments 9 and Specification of Letters'Patent.

l0. The compartment 9, will hereinafter be referred to, as the receiving compartment, and the compartment l0, will hereinafter be referred to, as the pouring compartment. The ground, or pulverized coifee is placed within the compartment 9, strained through the partition 8, and poured from the compartment 10, through the spout 4:.

The. strainer partition 8, is detachably secured in position between laterally spaced guides 11, secured to the inner faces of the sides, and bottom, of the body 1, of the coffee pot. These guides l1, hold the strainer partition 8, against lateral movement, but with freedom for vertical sliding movement, so that said strainer partition, may be inserted or removed from the coffee pot. As shown, the strainer partition 8, is formed from a single sheet of closely perforated metal, that is, except at its marginal edges, which are embraced by the guides 1l.

That portion of the bottom of the cover 2, overlying the receiving compartment 9, is pressed downward, thus forming a segmental depression l2, which, whensaid cover is closed, projects into said compartment, and closely ts the vertical walls thereof. The straight portion of the depression 12, extends below the upper longitudinal edge of the strainer partition 8, thereby affording a lap-joint, between the two compartments 9 and l0, which prevents the coffee grounds from entering the compartment l0, during the pouring of the coffee.

By the use of the strainer partition 8, the customary strainer placed over the cup, and through which the coffee is poured, may be eliminated. The strainer partition 8, may be readily removed from the vcoffee pot for the purpose of cleansing the saine.

Obviously the depression 12, will keep the receiving compartment 9, completely closed in case the cover 2, should slightly open in the pouring of the coffee and thereby prevent any of the grounds from entering the compartment l0.

It is of course understood that the term coffee pot, is herein used in a broad sense to cover teapots and the like.

The above described invention h'aS in :1e-Y` end ofsaid receiving compartment, to close l@ 'Y Y tual usage proven highly efficient for the the saine and form a lap-joint between said 'Y purpose had in View. Strainer partition and said cover.V
